jinx's Interests
POKER GAMES:
No limit holdem tournaments. I will play some live action if the mood strikes. However, I think live poker and tournament poker are two different animals.
POKER PLAYERS:
I was fortunate to witness Stu Ungar at his best. I credit an old friend, Joe Shumway, for his encouragement and help. He taught me a lot about the world of poker. Chuck Beaudion and Larry Huber are good friends and outstanding poker players.
LUCKY POKER HANDS:
Any that let me drag the pot. I do have an affinity for an 8-5 in an unraised big blind, sometimes it works well for me.
CASINOS:
The old days at Binions, South Point, Red Rock, Venetian, Caesars, Stratosphere, Sahara
ACTIVITIES:
Poker of course, spending time at my cabin, exploring the desert in Nevada and Arizona. My wife and I have 2 daughters and they are the lights of our lives and we enjoy as much time with them as we can.
MOVIES:
Rounders, Cincinatti Kid, All the Star Wars, Indiana Jones trilogy[can't wait for the new one in May}, The Fastest Indian, 21, I love scifi.
TV SHOWS:
Reruns of all the Star Treks, SG-1, I hear they cancelled "Las Vegas", CSI Las Vegas and Miami and New York, Eli Stone, Lost{ I have watched every episode and still have no idea what is going on}, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica
BOOKS:
Stu Ungars life story, anything by James Michener, various poker strategy books I have subscribed to Card Player since its inception, even before when it was called Gambling Times
MUSIC:
I grew up in the 60's and 70's so I love the old rock and roll and as I age country music has some songs I like.
POKER PLAYLIST:
I do not know what a poker playlist is. If it means where and when I play, I go to Vegas several times a year and attend the World Series. I do get to other places in Nevada-Reno, Mesquite, Laughlin, Tahoe. I live close to Deadwood, SD so I play there too
QUOTES:
" Glory is fleeting " I have won tourneys many times, got in the money many times, and just when you think you are pretty smart and get cocky, someone hands your ass to you. We should learn to be a little more humble and a little more thankful.

Hi,
It is hard to decide between,hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or tornados.
Hi Ron, Thanks for the Post. I get to Foxwoods a couple of times a year. I usually try to take the family to mystic (to the seaport and aquarium) and sneak out at night. It costs me a spa treatment for my wife but that is the price we must pay. Good luck
